Rajat Rawat - PeerSpot reviewer
DevOps Specialist at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Deployment agent that allows us to deploy out to various other servers but doesn't provide build automation
I would rate this solution as six out of ten. There isn't a big learning curve. It's a very straightforward and simple tool. It can be used anywhere to deploy your code or to configure files. I would recommend it, but there are already better tools in the market. We feel that it's probably not the best tool available, even though we have used it for quite some time. The automation with the REST APIs and other types of APIs isn't that great. There are some things you need to do manually to set up the tool. Other tools provide things you can do automatically through APIs. Inedo BuildMaster is a good tool if you want to have some deployments in your company. The problem is that it's a very limited tool and needs some additional features, like an approval based process for REST APIs. It only works for deployment-related things. These days, tools like Jenkins and DevOps are coming up with build automation. Because Inedo BuildMaster is a deployment-centered tool, you'll need to use a different tool for build automation, which makes it less likely to be used. If they work on that aspect, the solution would be better.

Automated pipelines have halved deployment time and allow developers to focus only on coding
The best features that Jenkins offers me are high customizability along with the support of Groovy language, which allows me to write my own functions and logic to deploy applications and configure the pipeline according to my use case. Its high integration capability with many plugins is also a significant advantage. For example, we have certain cloud functions running on Google Cloud Run, and we deploy those in the form of containers. Jenkins is highly integratable with Docker through plugins, so we installed those plugins in Jenkins and provided the credentials and logic for execution. Additionally, we have a Bitbucket environment and AWS deployments where we also use Jenkins' strong AWS plugins to deploy resources effectively. Thanks to these plugins, it's easy to deploy rather than creating custom logic. I have covered pretty much everything about the features of Jenkins.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Technical support is quick to respond. I haven't had any issues with them."
"It can scale easily."
"This is a great integration tool and very powerful."
"GitHub linking is pretty good. We have a deployment application where we can run our tests and add various variables to be passed as assertions to those tests. This is pretty fluid with Jenkins."
"Jenkins is particularly valuable since it saves time by automating manual tasks."
"The most valuable features are Jenkins Pipelines for ALM and full Deploy Cycle."
"Jenkins is very stable."
"Jenkins has built good plugins and has a good security platform."
"We have branches in Egypt and branches in Dubai that are using Jenkins for the whole automation process and we're really enjoying using it."
 

Cons

"The documentation should be better. It should be very easy to call REST APIs, and the documentation has to be perfect for that."
"I would like to see even more integrations included in the next release."
"The disadvantage of Jenkins is writing Groovy scripts. There are other CI tools where you do not need to write this many scripts to manage and deploy."
"Jenkins could improve in areas related to Kubernetes and Docker container integration, like machine allocation of nodes and Marshaling integration improvements."
"I rate Jenkins two out of 10. If you think it's going to save you money because it's open source, think again."
"The UI must be more user-friendly."
"Jenkins could have better cloud functionality. Currently, we are using the existing legacy model, but we are moving toward the cloud, so it would be great if they could improve in that area. In the future, I would like more cloud features and related training materials, like a video tutorial."
"The learning curve is quite steep at the moment."
"Jenkins takes a long time to create archive files."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is one of the lowest costs compared to competitors."
"Jenkins is open-source, so it is free."
"Jenkins is open source."
"We use the tool's open-source version which is free. There is an enterprise version which is expensive but comes with better support."
"It is a free product."
"I used the free OSS version all the time. It was enough for all my needs."
"Some of the add-ons are too expensive."
"The open-source version is free, but small companies would not be able to afford the cloud-based version."
